[quote=Anonymous]Call and check in again. Say your “mom heart” always hurts when her kids are stressed and see how things are today. Offer to come visit and be a diversion. That gives him space to accept or decline. I’ve been reading others responses, and I see both sides. I’m not usually one to coddle my kids and am a firm believer in giving them space to grow, including facing bumps. But I’m also a caring person, and I was thinking how I would respond if it was a close friend calling uncharacteristically upset. Would I tell her to buck up and pull herself together or would I offer support? I know I would offer to help in any way I could. Why wouldn’t we do that (and more) for our kids? [/quote]
